What is the name of the Speaker of the House of Representatives now?

• A. Nancy Pelosi
• B. Kevin McCarthy
• C. Mike Johnson
• D. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

Answer: (C)

The main idea here is knowing who currently holds the Speaker of the House role—the presiding officer of the House and leader of the majority party, elected by House members and next in the presidential line of succession after the Vice President. The current Speaker is Mike Johnson, who was chosen for the job in October 2023 and continues in that position. Nancy Pelosi has served as Speaker in the past, Kevin McCarthy held the role before Johnson, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is a member of the House but has not been Speaker.
